Bunny instantly stood on alert. His ears twitched with trying
to hear what he thought he heard.
"Something's up." He said as eggs ran out of a cave. We all heard
a strange sound and got ready to attack. We all charged at the
strange sound only to have Sophie come out. "Sophie?" I said.
we all straightened up and smiled at the young girl.
"elf elf elf!" she said chasing an elf.
"What is she doing here?" bunny asked, shocked. North felt his
pockets.
"Oh...my snow globe..."
"Crikey! Somebody do something!" Bunny said.
"Oh Don't look at me. Im invisible remember?" I said and Luna
giggled.
"its ok little one." Tooth said and flew to her.
"Pretty." Sophie said.
"Aww. you know what? I've got something for you! Here it is. Look at
all the pretty teeth, with little blood and gum on them!" She said.
This made Sophie cry in fear.
"Blood and gums?" I said, shocked. "When was the last time
you guys actually hung out with kids?" I asked.
"We are very busy bringing joy to children. we dont have time...
for children." North said.
"If one little kid can ruin Easter, then we're in worse shape than
I thought." i said sending a snowflake to hit Bunny's nose. my
magic worked thorughout his mind. He began to play with Sophie.
Luna smiled and we soon all began painting the egges comming towards us.
"How much time do we have?" i asked luna. she giggled and began painting.
after all the eggs were painted i sat beside bunny and sophie.
"Not bad." i told him with a smile. sophie curled up in bunny's arms.
"Not bad yourself." Bunny smiled at me. Luna landed beside me
with a smile.
"Look, Im sorry about the whole, you know, kangaroo thing." I shrugged.
"Its the accent, isnt it?" he asked. "Aw poor little ankle-biter.
Look at her. All tuckered out.
"I think its time to get her home." Tooth said, taking her.
"How about I take her home?" i offered.
"Jack, No. Pitch is..."
"No match for this." i said holding out my staff. Luna smiled.
"Which is why we need you here with us." Bunny said.
"Trust me. I'll be quick as a bunny." i chuckled.
"Ill go with him." Luna said.
We arrived in Sophie's room and i put her on the bed. luna laughed
as i struggled to get sophie to let go. She rolled and fell off the bed
and i put a blanket over her and left for fear of her mom finding
us. Silly thought now...
"We should get back." I told Luna and she smiled and nodded.
I then heard someone call out my name. "That voice, i konw that voice."
i whispered.
"Voice?" Luna whispered. I heard the voice again and went after it.
"Jack!" Luna called and flew after me. I landed in the forest near
a rickety old bed. "Jack no." Luna said.
"Dont worry. there is still time." I said and approached the bed.
I broke the bed and went into the hole in the ground. Luna followed
me.
"Jack." Luna said uneasy.
"I have to find out what i am hearing." I told her and flew into a room.
"The fairies!" Luna gasped looking around.
"Jack?" I heard and looked down. The teeth.
I jumped down looking for my own.
"Looking for somehting?" Pitch said. Luna and I gasped and looked for pitch.
"Dont be afraid Jack, Luna. Im not going to hurt you."
"Afraid? Im not afraid of you." We said.
"Maybe not. But you are afraid of something, Jack." Pitch said.
"You think so, huh?" I pressed.
"I know so!" Pitch looked at us. "Its the one thing i always know.
People's greatest fears. Yours is that no one will ever believe
in you."
I gasped and stumbled back. Suddenly we were sucked into the darkness.
"No!" we landed on the ground hard.
"And worst of all, you're afraid you'll never know why. Why you? Why were you chosen to be
like this? But fear not. for the answer to that is right here."
he held out my teeth to me. "Do you want them, Jack? Your memories?"
I reached for them but chickened out. Pitch jumped away with them. I ran after him,
Luna still all the while behind me.
"Come out coward!" she growled.
"Everything you wanted to know, in this little box. why did you end up like this? Unseen.
Unable to reach out to anyone. You want the answers so badly. you want
to grab them and fly off with them. But you're afraid of what the
Guardians will think. You're afraid of disappointing them. Well
let me ease your mind about one thing. They'll never accept you. Either of you."
"Stop it!" Luna screamed and i growled.
"Stop it!"
"After all, you're not one of them." Pitch came out of the shadows.
"You dont know what we are!" Luna and i glared.
"Course i do! You're Jack frost and Luna. Jack makes a mess
Wherever he goes. Luna is the little girl who has no name like the
boogeyman or Jack Frost nipping at your nose. You two are nothing. About that mess
jack, You're doing it right now." Pitch tossed me my memories.
"...what did you do?" I asked.
"More to the point Jack. What did you do?" Pitch laughed, fading into the shadows.
I swung at Pitch.
"Jack! we have to get to the Warren!" Luna pulled me along.
I looked at the mess. All the eggs broken.
